ктуальность предпринятого исследования обусловлена обострившимся в последнее время интересом к проблемам филологической регионалистики, предметом исследования которой является язык регионов, характеризующийся своеобразной территориальной окраской. Между тем, в существующей научной литературе такие понятия, как региолект, регионализм не получили однозначного толкования и четко не отграничены от смежных понятий. Не выясненным остается вопрос об отношении региональных вариантов языка к общеязыковой норме, не определено отношение региолекта к литературному языку, не выявлен состав региолекта. Много спорных вопросов связано с регионализмами, представляющими собой локальные заимствования и функционирующими в ткани художественного произведения. И в этом смысле актуальность данной статьи представляется очевидной. Целью статьи является исследование функций общекавказских и осетинских регионализмов в романе А. Цаликова «Брат на брата». Основными методами исследования являются описательный, стилистический и когнитивный. Научная новизна работы заключается в уточнении понятий региолекта, регионализма, в раскрытии функций регионально маркированных единиц в романе Цаликова «Брат на брата», в постижении творческой индивидуальности автора, в описании структуры повествования в романе и раскрытии способов репрезентации в нем локальных заимствований. Основными результатами работы являются следующие. Выявлена важнейшая функция регионализмов в романе, используемая для романтизации патриархальной осетинской жизни в ее противопоставлении цивилизации, нивелирующей многие национальные явления, разрушающей народные нравственные основы. Именно эта функция осетинских регионализмов является основополагающей в романе, ибо они наиболее адекватно передают содержание когнитивной структуры и способствуют воссозданию национальной картины мира; кроме того выделены тематические группы указанного разряда региональной лексики в тексте произведения; рассмотрены способы их включения в ткань романа; проанализировано их взаимодействие с другими элементами текста. Сделан вывод о том, что помимо передачи колорита осетинской жизни, транслирования традиционной осетинской культуры, анализируемые регионализмы служат передаче эмоционального состояния героев, особенно главного героя, страстно протестующего против негативных сторон цивилизации и романтизирующего патриархальный уклад жизни.  The recently intensified interest in the problems of philological regionalism, the subject of which is the language of the regions, characterized by a kind of territorial coloring, accounts for the relevance of the present study. Meanwhile, in the existing scientific literature, such concepts as regionalect, regionalism, have not received clear interpretation and are not clearly separated from related concepts. The question of the relation of the regional options language to the common language norm is not defined, nor the ratio of regiolect to the literary language, the composition of regiolect has not been identified. Many controversial issues are related to regionalism, which is a local borrowing and is functioning in the fabric of the work of art. In this sense, the relevance of this article is obvious. The aim of the article is to study the functions of the Caucasian and Ossetian regionalisms in A. Tsalikov’s novel «Brother Against Brother». The main research methods are descriptive, stylistic and cognitive. The scientific novelty of the work is to clarify the concepts of regionalect, regionalism, to reveal the functions of regionally marked units in the novel by A. Tsalikov «Brother Against Brother», in the comprehension of the creative individuality of the author, in the description of the structure of the narrative in the novel and the disclosure of ways of representation of local borrowings in it. The main results of the work are the following: the most important function of regionalisms in the novel, used for the romanticization of the Patriarchal Ossetian life in its opposition to civilization, leveling many national phenomena, destroying the people’s moral foundations, is revealed. It is this function of Ossetian regionalisms that is fundamental in the novel, because they most adequately convey the contents of the cognitive structure and contribute to the reconstruction of the national picture of the world; in addition, the thematic groups of this category of regional vocabulary are highlighted in  the text of the work; the ways of their inclusion in the fabric of the novel are considered; their interaction with other elements of the text is analyzed. It is concluded that in addition to the transfer of the color of Ossetian life, broadcasting traditional Ossetian culture, the analyzed regionalisms serve to convey the emotional state of the characters, especially the main character, passionately protesting against the negative aspects of civilization and romanticizing the patriarchal way of life.

“An intertextual/ dialogical reading of place through photography and fiction” The article is an exploration of place and its representations based on the intertextual reading of a series of photographs (1880-82) of Tarbert, Loch Fyne by Andrew Begbie Ovenstone (1851-1935) and the dialogical reading of a novel, Gillespie (1914), by John MacDougall Hay (1881-1919) which is set in Tarbert. The proposed article is inspired by a sense that a semiotic approach to the subject will reveal far more than has been discovered within the tradition of hermeneutics and patrimony and that much will be gained by a study of the contrast between written and visual signifiers. The article raises questions about the (unexamined) coded readings of place especially in relation to the photograph, and the lack of an adequately theorized tradition for the novel. The literary text is well known - if not well understood - but the images are from a rare, unpublished, private collection of photographs from Scotland, India and the furthest reaches of Empire (Ovenstone was the Atlantic Freight Manager of Anchor Line Ltd, the Glasgow shipping company). The paper emphasizes the need for the use of codes to decipher the texts. When we “read” the photographs we need to be aware of the intertextual relationship between the photograph and the landscape painting tradition as well as the common practice of the created tableau – there is then overlaid upon the image the sense of a set of conventions, a system which operates much like a language. We are able to discover through the notion of the “long quotation from appearances” the potential for more complex “synchronic” readings. Likewise, in the case of Gillespie, the novel operates within a genre which determines a “reading”. When we are aware of a code, we become aware of the way that Hay manoeuvres adroitly to thwart the reader’s best efforts to settle upon a preferred reading – especially one shaped by an authoritative narrator - which thereby allows for the genuine experience of “heteroglossia” to emerge. The notion of truth in Gillespie is interrogated in the light of Heidegger’s essay “The Origins of a Work of Art” in order that the relationship between representation and reality be clarified.

This article is dedicated to the problem of the choice of name for a text semantic field formed within a literary text. The goal consists in determination of factors that hinder or preclude the naming of a text field. The subject of this research is the text semantic field observed particularly in the novels of F. M. Dostoevsky “The Idiot” and I. S. Turgenev “Home of the Gentry”. The author establishes that the text semantic field is closely connected to the contexts where elements of the field can be equitable, which complicates determination of the core and periphery of a text field, namely its name. In the course of research, the author applied the methods of analysis of scientific literature, interpretation of literary text as an aesthetic system, and method of semantic analysis. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the author is first to discuss the question of difficulties of naming a text field using the materials of the novels “The Idiot”  by F. M. Dostoevsky and “Home of the Gentry” by I. S. Turgenev. The conclusion is made that in majority of cases a text field can be named by the most frequent element therein. At the same time, the name “Idiot” in F. M. Dostoevsky’s novel does not fully reveal the content of a text field. In some instances it is impossible to name a text field (as in the novel “Home of the Gentry” by I. S. Turgenev), since elements of the field deal with the equitable mutual implication.

The article is an attempt to read the novel The Adolescent in the light of the spiritual and creative dialogue between the philosopher of the common task Nikolay Fedorov and Fyodor Dostoevsky. Although The Adolescent was written and published three years before Fedorov’s student N. Peterson presented his teacher’s ideas to the writer in the article “What should a people’s school be?”, the novel can be considered as a prologue to the topic that eventually became the subject of Fedorov’s main work The question of brotherhood or kinship, about the causes of the non-fraternal, unrelated, i.e. non-peaceful, state of the world, and about the means to restore kinship. The plot of the novel is interpreted in the article through the prism of Fedorov’s themes of non-kinship and the restoration of universal kinship, the idea of returning the hearts of sons to their fathers and the fathers’ ones to their children. It is shown how the theme of “family as the practical beginning of love” is expressed in the novel.

the subject of this research is formation and development of social education in Russia in the late XIX – early XX century in its moral and spiritual aspects. Social and pedagogical experiments in that period were merged with the process of origin and formation of social education. Search of the cultural axis of the professions aimed at the social help and support of the population became the feature of this process in Russia. The answer was found in an appeal to the theological aspects of social education. The methodological basis of the study is the concept of cultural and moral continuity and continuity of social education, as well as recognition of not only the social but also the spiritual value of social assistance. Research methods are complex: this is a comparative historical study, text analysis, stratification analysis and study of subcultures, a modeling method. The main research problem is the analysis of the correlation of standardization and formalization of social education and its spiritual and moral essence, the problem of motivating the activities of specialists in the social sphere and the threat of its emasculation. The findings of this study are important for meaningful formation of the modern social formation and determination of its spiritual and moral foundations.

This article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of two works by M. Y. Lermontov, which represent the interpretation of the common biographical context. The subject of this research is the specificity of transformation of the biographical fact into the artistic generalization in the works of M. Y. Lermontov. The object of this research is the drama "Two Brothers" and the novel Princess Ligovskaya” viewed within the paradigm of artistic comprehension of the scenario of unfaithfulness, or destruction of love as conceptually important in the conflict present in the works of M. Y. Lermontov. Such approach, based on interrelation between the creative and biographical, allows making important remarks on specificity of the phenomenon of autobiographism in the works of M. Y. Lermontov. The author analyzes the initial biographical situation (relationship between Lermontov and V. A. Lopukhina), and concludes that two literary texts – drama and novel – represent a distinct system of creative reflection of the biographical fact. It is established that in the process of creating the drama, and the novel later on, Lermontov ensues the need for artistic interpretation and resolution of the situation of unfaithfulness as an instance, and in a broader sense – as an ontological pattern; however, the conflict cannot be settled within the framework of this storyline. Since 1837, autobiographism in Lermontov's works ceases to play the crucial role; in other words, personal situation and its artistic interpretation no longer coincide, which renders impossible to continue the novel. Such circumstance allows realizing the reasons of incomplete works of Lermontov’s early period, which lie in inability to resolve love conflicts with a positive finale.

Peyami Safa, a twentieth-century novelist, journalist and intellectual, and one of the major personalities of conservatism in Turkey, encouraged Muslim and Christian believers to search for common ground and shared values that would yield a happy, virtuous way of life. His novel, The Armchair of Mademoiselle Noraliya, features character, Noraliya, who epitomizes the common ground between Islam and Christianity as a guide to peace of mind for individuals lost in the maze of modemity. Safa's literary construct is rooted in both religious inclination and admiration for the modem mind. Drawing on the main elements of the novel, this essay focuses on those features that reflect Safa's idea of a personal mysticism reached through religion, as well as interreligious dialogue, Safa's approach exemplifies Turkey's unique position in the Muslim world, inviting comparison arui appreciation of the nuances among the historical manifestations of Islam.

Background. Detoxification programmes seek to implement the most secure and compassionate ways of withdrawing from opiates so that the inevitable withdrawal symptoms and other complications are minimized. Once detoxification has been achieved, the next stage is to enable the patient to overcome his or her drug addiction by ensuring consumption is permanently and completely abandoned, only after which can the subject be regarded as fully recovered. Methods. A systematic search on the common databases of relevant papers published until 2016 inclusive. Results and Conclusion. Our study of the available oral treatments for opioid dependence has revealed that no current treatment can actually claim to be fully effective. These treatments require daily oral administration and, consequently, regular visits to dispensaries, which in most cases results in a lack of patient compliance, which causes fluctuations in drug plasma levels. We then reviewed alternative treatments in the available scientific literature on polymeric sustained release formulations. Research has been done not only on release systems for detoxification but also on release systems for giving up the habit of taking opioids. These efforts have obtained the recent authorization of polymeric systems for use in patients that could help them to reduce their craving for drugs.

The paper deals with the biblical prototext in L. Mosendz’s novel “Th e Last Prophet”. This work focuses on the figure of John the Baptist making the most full coverage of the prophet’s personality in Ukrainian literature. Besides the historical sources, the novel is based on the ideological and aesthetic pattern of the Holy Scripture. However, the canonical text has been significantly rethought. The specifics of interpreting the biblical prototext in L. Mosendz’s novel have not yet been the subject of special research, although many scholars paid attention to the biblical basis of the work. Therefore, the purpose of the present paper is to highlight the peculiarities of the biblical prototext embodied in the novel “The Last Prophet”. The analysis of the plot, figurative and stylistic levels was necessary for achieving this goal. At the plot level, the common and distinctive features of the biblical and fictional stories of the John the Baptist’s life have been indicated. The distinctive features appeared to be more numerous as the text of the novel complements rather than repeats the prototext (the Gospel of Luke). Psychologization, the scholarly motivation of events, the manner of filling “semantic gaps” with both oneiric visions and historical narrations are the specific features in reproducing the biblical story. The main characters of the work Jehohanan and Elizabeth, unlike original biblical characters, are endowed with portrait characteristics and shown in the dynamics of age and spiritual growth. Creating them, the author combines the Old and New Testament prototypes: Eliseba — Sarah, the Mother of God; Jehohanan — David, Elijah, Isaiah, Moses, and Messiah. In this context, the figure of Elizabeth appears as a generalized image of the Mother, and the figure of Jehohanan — as a common image of the Prophet. Th e sacred vocabulary, biblical anthroponyms, toponyms, aphorisms, stylistic figures of inversion, amplification, gradation, etc. form the stylistic level of implementing the aesthetic means of the Holy Scripture. Some biblical quotations are given as poetically modified and emotionally characterized by the writer. The biblical prototext secures ideological and aesthetic integrity for the novel but doesn’t give the plot a strict direction. Although deeply rooted in the Holy Scripture, the novel by Mosendz is a completely independent work on the search for values of a man, people, and humanity.

The article is dedicated to the novel of the modern Finnish-Swedish writer Kjell Westö, “Mirage 38” (published in 2013). The action takes place in the 1930s, and an important role in the work is played by the description of the historical background, within which the storylines develop. The author could not ignore Finland’s foreign policy relations, including relations with the Soviet Union. Such references are the subject of analysis in this article. The historical facts mentioned in the novel are, for the most part, genuine, since Westö takes seriously the factual preparation of his works. Nevertheless, some events are covered through the prism of perception of the protagonist, therefore, they cannot claim to be objective. Moscow in the novel “Mirage 38” appears as a bulwark of urban civilization, in which a new way of life is emerging. The main character, having been assigned to the capital of the country, experiences a dissonance of his inner attitude with what he encounters in reality. The depiction of Soviet reality in the novel bears the imprint of the knowledge available in the 20th century about the era of Stalinism, and therefore is strikingly different from the impressions that contemporaries of the described historical period had. Also, the writer’s acquaintance with Russian literature could have had an impact, since the work mentions its representatives, and the main character discusses their influence on his mood. The correlation of objectively depicted historical facts with the subjective perception of Westö’s characters creates a unique atmosphere that critics appreciated and later awarded the novel “Mirage 38” with a prestigious award.

<p>The article deals with the history of studying Christian images and motifs in the novel of Fedor Dostoevsky <em>Crime and Punishment</em>. The novel&rsquo;s conflict and the image of the main character for a long time have had different, often directly opposite, interpretations&nbsp;&mdash; first of all, in the matter of Raskolnikov&rsquo;s repentance and his spiritual rebirth. The subject of the research is the resurrection as the central theme of the novel <em>Crime and Punishment</em>. Special attention is paid to the analysis of lexical variants &ldquo;voskresenie&rdquo; and &ldquo;voskreshenie&rdquo;, the first of which belongs to Dostoevsky, and the second, one applicable to Raskolnikov, is traced in scientific literature on the novel. The overview of various research points of view is accompanied by an analysis of the novel&rsquo;s draft and printed texts. This review allows carrying out a detailed textual comparison with the biblical sources of the theme of the resurrection and identifying the author&rsquo;s position in this work. The text of the novel indicates that its author is focused on the key ideas of Russian Orthodox culture and the &ldquo;Easter&rdquo; plot of the gospel narrative.</p>
